Faster export, and the Opening and Closing windows

Applies to 0.11Updated 3 Nov 20262 min read

Since 0.11.87 export and Render In to Out put several frames together at once, projects open faster, and a small window shows what the app is doing while it opens a project or quits.

Faster export and render

Export (the Export button on the Export screen, Quick Export and the Export queue) and Sequence › Render In to Out now put several frames together at once. Nothing to set. In our tests ProRes 422 was 32% faster, Render In to Out about 17% and H.264 about 7% (H.264 is limited by the Mac's hardware encoder).

Projects open faster

The Export and Import screens (the Import / Edit / Export tabs at the top left) are built the first time you open them, not every time a project opens.

The Opening window

When a project opens (at launch, from Home or with File › Open), a small window Opening “project name”… shows a moving bar and the current step: Building the panels with the number of media and sequences, then Opening the timeline and the media. It closes by itself when the editor is ready. It means the app is working, not frozen.

The Closing window

When you quit (VLPremiere Pro › Quit VLPremiere Pro, ⌘Q), the project windows close at once. If finishing takes longer than a quarter of a second, a small Closing VLPremiere Pro… window shows Stopping the voice engine, then Closing, while the voice engine stops in the background. Quitting no longer freezes the window, even when the voice engine is busy.
